Monkey and Bunny - The Residents

(Patter patter shoop shoop

Patter patter shoop shoop

Patter patter shoop shoop)

There was a little man

Who ran a shoeshine stand

Every day the man would sweep

Clutter from the busy street

He seldom said a word

That anybody heard

There was something in his face

Loneliness would not erase

Like a broken pup

He looked up from the cup

He drank his morning coffee in

And wiped the dribbles from his chin

And when his eyes met mine

He made a little whine

He came within an inch or two

And then he whispered, «I hate you»

How did he know?

How did he know?

How did he know?

How did he know?

Once I had some pets

And let them starve to death

It was a… funny little monkey

And a big white Easter bunny

They lived in little cages

And some-- sometimes in rages

I would turn them upside down

And drag the monkey all around
